Squadron leader Christodoulos Giakoumis performed demanding and impressive maneuvers with an F-16 of the F-16 “Zeus” Aircraft Demonstration Group of the Greek Air force.
The performance and the message to Greeks were parts of the big military parade on the anniversary of Ochi Day, on October 28, in Thessaloniki.
From the cockpit of the F-16, Giakoumis sent the message to the President of the Hellenic Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou who was attending the parade as well as to all Greeks.
“Greek women and men, we look with pride at what the generation of the 1940s achieved, defending our homeland. We are and will remain ready to do the same. Honor to those who in their lives defined and guarded Thermopylae. Many Happy returns to our Greece and to Hellenism everywhere on Earth! Many happy returns Thessaloniki!”.
The quote “Honor to those who in their lives defined and guarded Thermopylae” is from the poem “Thermopylae” by our Constantinos Cavafy.
